Description Cheek By Jowl is widely regarded as Britain's leading theatre company. It has earned consistent critical acclaim and a string of awards, placing it at the forefront of European theatre. Cheek By Jowl's founders and artistic directors, Nick Ormerod and Declan Donnellan, are acknowledged as "the most exciting partnership in British theatre today." Declan Donnellan has won Laurence Olivier Awards for Best Director (1987) and Most Outstanding Achievement (1990). Shakespeare's most anarchic comedy As You Like It will be in the uproarious tradition of Cheek By Jowl's previous award-winning production.
